The bottom of Lower Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park. Capture early morning to get the nice rainbow.

Most of the other photographers around were doing the usual, trying to go wider and capture the whole falls. I saw a lot of good texture in around the bottom of the falls and decided to focus in close. I think this came away with an interesting composition as well as the great texture of the rocks.

Trying something new with processing. Experimenting with Luminosity Masks as well as the actions created by Tony Kuyper, along with his Luminosity Mask Triple Play. I think the results are pretty clear.

First off, really good shot. You used the right settings and it looks great. I have to say 10 being the best photo and 0 being the worst photo, i will give you a 7. And is that rainbow real? Or did you add it in? What i would do if i had that same opportunity to take that shot, is that i would zoom out just a bit to get more of the rocks in. But that is just my own view of it. You still did a really good job with the shot, edited or non edited still great.
